The previous reviewer was right - the bake times are not right on this. My cake already tested done at the 40 minute point when I opened the oven to put the topping on. I baked 10 more min to brown the topping and then turned off the oven and left it 5 more minutes. The topping needed more time but I didn't want to overdo the cake. I used sour milk instead of buttermilk - a great way to use it up. I also reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup since we were eating it with ice cream, and I used dark molasses instead of sorghum, since it's what I had. Nice dense cake; my molasses overwhelmed the spices - should have used more with the heavier taste molasses would give. Served the cake with rum raisin gelato. Mmmmm.
